do you think a Nvidia 970 could handle this game?
I have a Nvidia 970 and these days no money to get anything new. do you think a 970 would be able to handle this game if I dropped everything to a minimum?. I have the first one and it runs fine.

I had a GTX 960 and most things were on low in Evolved. I doubt 970 would play Ascended.

My RX 7600 8Gb can play Ascended with everything on low except for:
View distance (High), shadows (medium), global illumination (High), and everything else on low or off at 1080p.

I get around 45 fps though.

I would say even if you can play it (what might be possible with additional console commands to go below officical minimum) there is no point in playing it with such low settings.
The general differences between both games are minimal and even the most important one (the graphics upgrade) doesn't apply to anything while playing at high/ultra.
So if you already know you can just run it at medium or lower i don't see any point in buying it tbh.
Esp. as ASE looks better on low end computers with more mods and more stable.

Note that the official minimum hardware for UE5 (info directly taken from Epic) is a 1080. If your gpu is below 1080 you should think twice about purchasing the game/software.

i play with 3060 ti and i am around 40-60 on avrage with medium. On low settings maybe above 100 fps but then the game looks like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. it works but its best to wait until they optimize the game and make it run better

my son plays on it with a 980ti 2k resolution low settings gets 60 fps after all the commands

maybe when the performance update goes live u might have a decent chance but tbh i wouldnt count on it running smooth but i recon it will just about play with a fresh wipe of windows to.

No.

Especially if you have an MSI one since they only have 3.5GB of Vram.

Stick with ASE. It's more feature complete and has better mods.
